For centuries, human kind has used wood for energy to cook or to heat. However, given the rising population, this has exalted a huge demand on our forests – our natural defence against global warming and climate change.

The consequences of using wood for heating energy have created smog and air pollution in many industrialized countries today. In impoverished third world countries where it is used as charcoal for cooking, it has resulted in huge deforestation, leading to greater climate change and hardship in these regions “http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8272603.stm”.
